[Benefits] [Retirement] Retiring next year after 32 years and the FEHB vs Medicare decision is wrecking me
Retiring next year after 32 years and the FEHB to Medicare question is making me lose sleep.My wife retired two years ago and we just kept BCBS Basic because it was easy and I was still working. Now Im actually doing the math on whether to drop FEHB entirely, suspend it, or keep it as secondary with Medicare A and B. Every coworker I ask has a different answer and theyre all SO confident theyre right. One guy swore up and down you should always keep FEHB. Another said hes been on Medicare Advantage for 5 years and saves a ton. My brother in law (retired postal) said suspend, dont drop, because you can come back.I went to one of those pre retirement seminars and honestly the Medicare portion was like 15 minutes and the lady basically said "talk to a licensed agent." Cool, thanks.I spent like two hours last weekend on CoverRight just trying to understand what plans even exist in my zip code and what the Part B premium does to my budget at our income level (IRMAA is a whole other rabbit hole i didnt know about until last month). Still dont feel ready to pull any triggers.For those of you whove already made the jump, did you suspend FEHB or keep it? And did you regret whichever you picked? I keep going back and forth and my OPM retirement packet is just sitting on the kitchen table staring at me.
